[Albion] ***Europa League Group Stage Draw - Official Thread***

[WATFORD zero]

Welcome to Europe

 

[Bridcutt]

Big names, hard group but exactly the destinations you'd want

Athens, Amsterdam and Marseille

 

[Springal]

Darren Balkham will have his work cut out

 

[Farehamseagull]

Amazing group of relative European giants, could not have gone better for me!

And in all honesty, we have every chance of topping that group and should go in as favourites. Ajax and Marseille are really not all that at all.

 

[Curious Orange]

We could easily finish bottom of this group

... or top.

 

[Klaas]

This is what it’s all about!!

 

[The Mole]

Slightly disappointed as I’m going to Marseille next week (can check out the stadium if it’s the same as the one they are using for the rugby)
trip to Athens would be nice though

 

[Mellotron]

Drinks at 6.

Yeah but quiz starts at 7, so...

 

[Springal]

USG and Liverpool for the MacAllister derby

 

[SweatyMexican]

Football eh.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Certainly won’t be going to any ropey stadiums! What a draw!

 

[hart's shirt]

That's a proper European group for the Albion.

Huge games that will make a lot of memories for old and young alike.

Some fantastic footballing cities there.

Sightseeing and atmosphere.

Delighted with that.

 

[Dave Fishwick]

what a draw - some great trips there.

I fancy us to top the group to be honest, we have nothing to fear from the current iterations of Ajax and Marseille. We were very close to taking Ajax's best player this summer, remember.

My only regret is that we won't be playing all the games in the famous blue and white stripes!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Veltman is going to love that.

 

[brighton_tom]

That is about as tough a group as was possible to draw. But some brilliant cities to visit! We might not make it out of the group but even so, 6 fantastic ties to take place.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Gonna get stoned in Amsterdam, stoned Marseille and tanned in Athens.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Certainly won’t be going to any ropey stadiums! What a draw!

Capacity of each of the stadiums are decent.

Thats the spirit

 

[studio150]

Very tough group.

May just go to Ajax but will make final decision when cost to Athens known.

 

[Jim in the West]

Most of the groups you can pretty much know the winners already. The exception is Group B....
